Foreign Languages at SUNY New Paltz is going through a self-assessment study this year. Faculty members of this department would like to change the name to be more inclusive as we will soon be housing an undergraduate EFL program. We have also been having trouble getting new culture courses approved, e.g. "Russian Today," because other departments on campus do not realize that teaching a language requires cultural knowledge as well. They insist such courses should be offered through history or political science. Two new names suggested have been "Foreign Languages, Literatures, & Culture" and "Languages, Literatures, & Culture." Are you at an institution where 'culture' is included in a department's name? If so, could you please respond to me directly? Thank you in advance, Becky Adae [log in to unmask] ********************************************************************** Ms. Rebecca Adae, Coordinator Language Learning Center State University of New York at New Paltz 75 S.
